Now with correct spellings of all the ridiculous proprietary tool names! Thanks to my husband Joe and to John for their technical assistance. (I almost claimed to be a compiler for a procedural programming language, how embarrassing!)
lyrics
You're a Phillips-head bit and I'm a Pozidriv screw Cm G F Cm
We've got so much in common but you're stripping me away Cm Bb F Cm
You're an ethernet cable hoping I'll connect with you Cm G F Cm
I just want a crimping tool to make you terminate Cm Bb F Cm
Honey, this will never work. G Cm
You're the wrong next block in tetris Eb
You're a brand new etch-a-sketch Bbm
But I don't wanna draw a square Cm
You're co-ax; I'm twisted pair G
I'm an SML compiler Eb
And you keep writing GOTOs Bbm
Whenever you're a perfect 10 Cm
I'm playing Sudoku G
You are Captain Kirk's phaser; I am King Arthur's sword
You're a sixteen-letter word and I'm a Scrabble board
You want to triple word score but you'll never fit my grid
You're a pricetag on a sticker; I'm an ebay auction bid
I'm afraid you're not my type.
You're the wrong next block in tetris
You're a brand new etch-a-sketch
But I don't wanna draw a square
You're co-ax; I'm twisted pair
I'm an SML compiler
And you keep writing GOTOs
Whenever you're a perfect 10
I'm playing Sudoku
We run on different voltages and there's no adapter
I'm a herbivorous mammal; You're a velociraptor
You stay up all night and I am strictly diurnal
The chipset on your mainboard's not supported by my kernel
Honey, this will never work.
You're the wrong next block in tetris
You're a brand new etch-a-sketch
But I don't wanna draw a square
You're co-ax; I'm twisted pair
I'm an SML compiler
And you keep writing GOTOs
Whenever you're a perfect 10
I'm playing Sudoku
I'm afraid you're not my type. G Cm F
Runtime error: type mismatch. G Cm
